The program outputs the g++ version of 14.2.0, but the terminal tells me 13.2.0? Why is it different? 🤔
#Strange behavior of compiler version?!

You have multiple different compilers installed

Yes, but why isn't is synchronous?
unborn tinsel
That's the issue with IDEs, they do their own magic. Who knows how it selects the compiler
Delete one of them perhaps
jaunty hearth
I guess that's the only option I have
@unborn tinsel Also another question: Where (path) did you install your GCC compiler? Is there some kind of structure you should have when installing compilers or something else?
jaunty hearth
Do you know what PATH is?
The place where a file or folder lives
unborn tinsel
That's a path, but there's "the" PATH 😛
It's a system setting, a list of paths
When you run an exe without specifying an absolute path, such as g++, it gets searched for in the PATH
So this means you have GCC 13 added to the PATH, and either don't have GCC 14 added at all, or it's added after GCC 13

Do you mean the environment variables? I only added GCC 14, not GCC 13?

Yes
Well it seems otherwise
Run echo $env:PATH in the terminal, show what it prints

you can manually change it in toolchain settings

I'm guessing it passess its own flags to cmake, overriding the compiler. But who knows

you can tell it to do so
eg.
you can either select it or use whatever it detects
im guessing it just uses PATH to detect the compiler

Apparently not tho, or OP wouldn't see two different compilers

did op change the PATH for this?
or maybe CLion goes trough all of them and selects the latest one?
